You have to remember, Ryback wasn't even a US Champion yet/Intercontinental/WHC; main eventer, sure but the face... neh.
First guy since Cena to be over to the point he was last fall. Ryback was OVER as fukk with everyone
Them titles mean shyt now
1. Check you AV my breh
2. Titles are still titles, they secure your tv time. Even Goldberg beat Raven for the US Strap before he beat Hogan.
D Bryan wasnt as over as Ryback last fall when he was with kane. I went to multiple raws during that time, crowds were going CRAZY for ryback and the Feed me More shyt.1. Check you AV my breh

True, but that was back when midcard titles meant something. They havent meant anything in a LONG time

You realize this mentality is EXACTLY what fukked up his momentum, right?
If they had let him build up some credibility as a US, IC, or even WH Champion, he might not be in this position now.
But instead they thrust him directly into the main event scene when he wasn't ready and it was already too crowded, so to protect the storylines they already had set up they had to sacrifice him at the altar for The Shield.
Them rushing him into that Hell In A Cell with no way out is what fukked his momentum.
He shouldve been built into the fued with miz, but the Cena injury is what caused them to rush it

For a grand total of a month. So what? Did he stay over? Can he work at the level of even the typical upper-mid card hoss? Could he have sustained anything without fizzling out and/or killing somebody in-ring?
IT WAS A MONTH, PEOPLE.
It was only a month because they screwed him over. I said it before he should not have lost until WM and he could have become a heel or tweener. And Aqua is right, he was sacrificed for the Shield who have never been over enough to justify their push.
